From an author whoâs been called âone of the most emotionally exacting, mercilessly candid, deeply funny, and intellectually rigorous writers of our timeâ (Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times bestselling author) comes a seminal book that reaches surprising truths about feminism, the Trump era, and the Resistance movement. You wonât be able to stop thinking and talking about it.
In this gripping work, Meghan Daum examines our countryâs most intractable problems with clear-eyed honesty instead of exaggerated outrage. With passion, humor, and personal reflection, she tries to make sense of the current landscapeâfrom Donald Trumpâs presidency to the #MeToo movement and beyond. In the process, she wades into the waters of identity politics and intersectionality, thinks deeply about campus politics and notions of personal resilience, and tests a theory about the divide between Gen Xers and millennials.
This signature work may well be the first book to capture the essence of this era in all its nuances and contradictions. No matter where you stand on its issues, this book will strike a chord.
